MKS EZY pedal choice
« on: 28 July, 2020, 02:51:03 pm »
New pedals for my TSRA8

With help from the MKS factory I have narrowed it down to either of these two QRs:

Any opinions born of usage or prejudice welcome.
Thank you

I went for this when I upgraded mine a few months ago:

I chose those as I preferred the closed cage, as compared with the Touring Lite.

I looked at but didn’t go for the Allways as I thought they were far bigger than I needed.

The new locking mechanism is fine, overall a little easier to use than the old style MKS quick release. I do find they take quite a hard push to get them to click home.

I admire your choice but I prefer black. Otoh, the closed cage tends to do less damage to flesh if the two should meet.

My current Wellgos have a release that can come round and hit the sole of your shoe which is irritating.

Have they arrived yet?  If so, what do you think of them?
Also - from which supplier and did you need to get them from Taiwan?

They have arrived (delivered 13th August) and they are lovely - very free spinning and a good large platform. They also release a lot easier than my Wellgo's.
I did buy them from Taiwan - a firm called rolling-cycleuk on ebay. That was a very good experience and no dearer than folk here were charging for the newest MKS Ezy pedals although I couldn't find this model here at the time. Also, the communications with the firm were very good.
